Frequently Asked Questions

Q:Do you need to reserve tickets for the Brooklyn Museum?
A:No, but the museum recommends reserving tickets ahead of time. A limited number of walk-up tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis, but they may sell out quickly. General admission tickets are untimed, while tickets for temporary exhibits are sold in 15-minute increments. Buying ahead guarantees your desired slot.
Q:How much time is needed in the Brooklyn Museum?
A:Allot 90 minutes to two hours for your visit—more to see the temporary exhibit. The Brooklyn Museum is New York City's third-largest museum and covers a lot of ground. There are thousands of artworks on display (1.5 million items in the collection), so it's a lot to take in.
Q:What is unique about the Brooklyn Museum?
A:The Brooklyn Museum is renowned for its mix of contemporary and historical artworks. Where else can you see classic artworks from Degas or O’Keefe alongside those from today's cutting-edge visionaries? The museum—housed in a Beaux-Arts building—has pieces from Egypt and sub-Saharan Africa, too. It's adjacent to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
Q:Does the Brooklyn Museum have a parking lot?
A:Yes. Visitors can park in the paid lot behind the museum between Washington Avenue and Eastern Parkway. You can also get to the Brooklyn Museum by public transportation: Take the 2/3 subway line to Eastern Parkway/Brooklyn Museum or B41 or B69 buses to Grand Army Plaza.
Q:Is it okay to bring baby strollers into the Brooklyn Museum?
A:Yes. Strollers are welcome in all of the museum, including temporary exhibits. It’s recommended to visit in the quieter morning hours with a stroller. The museum also offers special baby-friendly stroller tours for children aged 2 or younger and their caregivers, which include a touchable exploration of the galleries.
Q:Can you take photos at the Brooklyn Museum?
A:Yes. There’s no charge for taking pictures or shooting video as long as it’s for your personal use. If you’re a commercial or documentary photographer or videographer, be sure to get in touch with the museum ahead of time. Note: Flash is never permitted as it can damage the artworks.
